You must be a registered voter in Miami-Dade County and be able to read, write and speak English.

The Elections Department relies on the commitment of over 5,000 poll workers to ensure the conduct of fair and accurate elections in a Presidential Election Year.

Pay

Poll workers are paid a stipend for their services in accordance with the Poll Worker Payment Schedule. Important: in order to be paid for training, poll worker must also perform required Election Day duties.

Returning for future elections

Once you have worked at the polls on Election Day, your record will remain active, and you do not have to reapply to be a poll worker. Training, however, is mandatory for every poll worker prior to each election. To determine whether you are still active in the poll worker database, please call: 305-499-8448.
